Christianity: The only religion that will mold and modify itself as a marketing tactic in order to gain converts. For example: Christian Goth, Jews for Jesus, Christian Hardcore, and so on.

If honesty about your religious beliefs isn't palatable enough for another person to accept them as your own faith, that you have to modify your image or even your doctrine to get butts in the pews, then it isn't a religion at all but instead it's a fraud.

Lol, No.

So one nearly empty website supposedly "proves your point" while Christianity has been shown to use massive amounts of funding and people to attempt to convert people to it's religion. I think you're slipping in your troll tactics.

Christians do this to gain butts in pews, because they know their beliefs aren't palatable to anyone once that person thinks about it, so Christians instead try tricking people with commonalities and peer pressure because honesty doesn't fill the collection plate at the end of the service.

Cuz we all know that Jesus carried an AK-47 to make his dick feel big and ready.Right?

This has been going on since the 50s, man, with the modern Republican party anyway. Since forever otherwise.

Ahhhhh yikes. Too true.I stand corrected.

Yeah. During the Cold War, religion was the thing most Americans glommed onto in order to separate themselves from those "godless commies." And, for the most part, up until Reagan started his craven pandering to them, it had a somewhat distant relationship with our politicians.

Sadly, after 9/11, religion in America went from simply being something "patriotically correct" to becoming the foundation of our current wave of insane Nationalism and twisted sense of exceptionalism.
